Someone asked Bill Gates, "Is there any person richer than you?"
He said, "YES!, only one. Many years ago, I had been dismissed and I had gone to New York airport. I read titles of newspapers there. I liked one of them and I want to buy it. But I didn't have money. So abandoned the idea, suddenly, a black boy called me and told me, “This news paper for you.” I said, but I don’t have money. He said, “No problem, I give you for free”.
After 3 months, I went there. Coincidentally, that story happened again and that same boy gave me another free newspaper again. I said, I can’t accept it. But he said, “I give you from my profit.”
After 19 years, I had been rich and I decided to find that boy. I found him after one and half month's search. I asked him, do you know me? He said, “Yes!, you’re famous, Bill Gates.”
I said, you gave me free newspaper 2 times many years ago. Now, I want to compensate it. I am going to give you everything that you want. Black young man replied, “You can’t compensate it!”
I said, why? He said, "Because I gave you when I was poor. You want to give me when you are rich. So, how do you compensate?"
Bill Gates said, I think that black young man is richer than me."
You don't have to be rich or wait to be rich to give......
Real attitude of giving is when you lack!
